Volleyball

The volleyball Knights earned Episcopal the school’s first state championship title in 1978. Since that title, the volleyball athletes have earned 10 additional state championships. The program’s success is due in part to an emphasis on the value of teamwork while training athletes to be responsible on and off the court.
